Aaron Slight - The Autobiography
Apparently Aaron Slight has released an autobiography titled "You Don't Know The Half Of It"
From all accounts the story of the first NZeder to ride in WSB Championship - the three times Suzuka Eight Hour winner - and all round nice guy who cheated death by submitting to brain surgery, is a really interesting read. Plus, it's got lots of good dirt on that all time self promotion machine, Carl Fogarty (even if he did ride a Duke). I know I want a copy for Christmas. |

Aaron Slight one of my all time WSBK heroes, the nearly man so often and when Honda **** on him at the end of 2000 by sacking him and replacing him with Okada who was forced into taking the ride when he stated he wanted to retire, I was gutted, he deserved better than that, political ****.
I've read the book and it's great. Lets have Slighty back as a team manager up against Foggy now that would be worth watching. If you're out there Aaron come back man, WSBK needs you and Frankie in the pit lane as managers. Last edited by Tobesterr1; 16 Oct 2002 at 11:57. |
